There are plenty of genuinely nice people all around the globe in this otherwise harsh environment which tends to border on the 'dog eats dog' syndrome. Permit me to narrate a real life incident that has been reported from Illinois, US.
Aurora Kephart works as a bar tender at the Conway's Restaurant & Lounge at Illinois. She comes across customers of differing behavioural patterns during the course of her work and says that she enjoys her interactions with each thoroughly, as it helps her to understand human behaviour better. The customers tip her generously for her prompt, efficient and pleasant service.
Just before the commencement of the previous weekend she'd a completely different experience altogether! A customer had tipped her with a lottery ticket. Though it had dipped her enthusiasm, albeit for a minutely short while, she had laughed off the experience as another one of those weird ones that happen occasionally in her work environment. Customers are customers, with a wide range of personality traits!
And then the unthinkable happened. Luck was at her behest when the lottery ticket fetched her a prize of $17,500! The simple person that she was had, without any inhibition, agreed to return the ticket to the customer who'd tipped her with it.
And guess what? The gentleman has refused to take back the ticket, saying that he'd tipped her with it and hence, it was rightfully her's and not his anymore!
Goodness begets goodness! Cheers!!
Tailpiece.
Had kicked off for Guruvayur by a trifle short of 7, as I did not want Lekha or mom to feel the pressure of having to get up too early in the morning. Tasks accomplished, we're able to return by 4 in the evening. No traffic snarls, nice weather and no 'mood spoiling' potholes on the route made it a nice experience..... And I was well in time for my evening walk!
